@vinny. I understand that all the talk show guys say that, and that most people let the talk show guys do their thinking for them.

I don’t buy it. It’s not only wrong, it’s 100% wrong.

Mark Levin lost the Nevada senate seat to Harry Reid in 2010 by preaching for a good conservative but a flawed candidate.

William Buckley had the better approach. Pick the most conservative candidate with a chance to win.

The hard part, of course, is figuring out electability. Everyone goes to RR as the example. But it isn’t logical to assume that weighing electability gives the make believe media the priviledge of picking our candidates. People saw through that for Reagan.

Do you think Bachmann is another Reagan? She is the most conservative candidate.

I’m 100% on the electability side of the issue. Any candidate on the Republican stage, if elected, will save the republic. But if the selected candidate loses to Obama, the republic is over. The ONLY rational criteria is electability.

It’s just like first aid. If you see a person with a bone sticking out and blood gushing out of a vein, ignore the bone and stop the bleeding. Worry about the bone later. Well, the country’s artery is severed. No way I’m going to vote in a primary for the most rigid conservative.
